had sailed for Enrope. In due
time Florence was made aware OF

A GOOD ONE ON A SENATOR.

Tn Washington no man has a

fountain of words and oratory.-

Postmaster General Adlai f. Ste
yenson of Illinois hit of this ac-
complishment at banquet where
they were both present. Remlnls'
cences we're IN order, and Black
burn had been striking out right
and lett with jokes at everybody at
the table. Stevenson started out
to relate an incident of his college
days. when Blackburn and he were
students together, and said: "The
senator will tell you that he re-
members we'll the duel between
two of our fellov-students IN which
we acted as seconds Blackburn
lnterjected a remark that he re-
membered perfectly well, and Ste
venson continued "Ihe two young
fellows had got into dispute which
they saw no other way of settling
except by the code Of honor. We
went out to the field of battle. We
posted our men. You remember,
Blackburn" said he, chow you
paced off the ground and how we
stood the fellows up?' "Oh, yes
said Blackburn, 81 remember very
WELL" Then Stevenson resumed
the thread of his story. "Well, we
had the fellows pistol in hand ready
for use Just as the sun was shoot
ing its rays up over the hills IN the
east. Blackburn seemed to think
it was a proper thing to say some
thing, and he stepped out in front
of our little party to make lew
remarks. 1t is mournful to think
of the results of that duel" Here
Stevenson paused for a moment,
when somebody at the table called
out, "were they both killed p "No,'
was the quick response, "when Mr.
Blackburn got through it was too
dark for them to fire." Amid the
uproar of laughter that ensued the
senator tried to protest that he dld
not remember that part of the duel
But the jury of diners passed the
verdict that he had not proved an
alibi and that be stood convicted

fingers. Originally there were
eleven fingers, strung together at

been lost. This CHASTITY adornment
was captured in an attack on the
Northern Cheyennes in 1876, ana
each finger represented a lille taken
by the owner, the big medicine man

preserved by opening the skin, re-
moving the bones, scraping away
